plain about the rules. You always want to sta

Taylor Leath was a regular ball girl at Penn State volleyball games, in awe of the storied program and the brilliance of many of its players, including dominant outside hitter Megan Hodge, her all-time fave. Jose Abreu Jersey .Someday, the voice inside her head told her, I wanna play like that.These days the native of Port Matilda, Pennsylvania, wears a lighter shade of blue than the dark royal color of the Nittany Lions. In a Carolina blue uniform Leaths time has indeed arrived; the redshirt sophomore is the espnW volleyball player of the week after a monster performance on Sunday at Florida State.Behind a career-high 26 kills from Leath, the Tar Heels (21-3) rallied from an 0-2 deficit on the road against the Seminoles to take over sole possession of first place in the ACC and rise to No. 8 in the American Volleyball Coaches Association poll. The 26 kills were the most by any North Carolina player since 2005, and along with 13 digs, make eight career double-doubles for Leath. Perhaps more impressively, three of those have come in Tar Heels victories over top-10 opponents this season.The bigger the opponent, the bigger Taylor plays, North Carolina coach Joe Sagula said.Leath also became the programs first AVCA Player of the Week for leading the Tar Heels to their first win in Tallahassee since 2008 and first sweep in the series in 16 years.We were down 2-0, but our team has been through so much in terms of not being in the best situation so many times. Weve come from being down, so I think weve learned to lay it all out, said Leath, who hit .360 in the match. In the first two sets, it wasnt that we werent playing that hard. We just werent playing smart. We just had to settle down.With FSU up 13-10 in the fifth, Carolina went into its blue zone mode, similar to red zone play calling in the NFL. After a timeout, Leath recorded three of the final five points, including consecutive kills, for a 15-13 victory, setting off a raucous celebration.Even with all the momentum shifts, Leath insists she never doubted the outcome.I knew we could make the plays we needed to make, she said. We were all very connected. You get concerned when things are going wrong and everyones on their own island and feels isolated. I never had that feeling, so I never worried. We were never really shook up. We held our composure for the whole match.Leath also played a clean game in Fridays four-set road win over Miami, adding nine kills with just one error to go with eight digs and two aces.Born in Alabama, Leath was in fourth grade when the family moved to Port Matilda, about 20 minutes from Penn States campus. Tall for her age, she tried basketball until she settled in the volleyball-crazed area, and thought Why not?Before she knew it, she was good enough to be on a top club team (Synergy), but she also was a regular ball girl, too, for Nittany Lions games, watching national championship teams with a mop in her hands.I loved Megan Hodge, she said. I loved to watch how dominant she was and how she really didnt care, how she went up for swings with confidence in her ability and training. I always wanted to strive to have that when I was older.As much as Leath loved Penn State games, she didnt see herself a Nittany Lion. The town was small; she wanted to go far. At Penn State, she saw herself filling a spot; as a Tar Heel shes hoping to lead the program to a place its never been, one of the reasons why the 3-2 victory at Penn State on Aug. 27, North Carolinas first at University Hall, was both surreal and satisfying.It was really humbling to play in U-Hall, said Leath, named to the Penn State Classic all-tournament team.An ACL tear in high school forced Leath to redshirt her first season at North Carolina, and last year she started slowly as a three-rotation player. Shes made a huge leap this season, playing all six rotations, using her 6-foot-3 length and physical presence to be a force at the net.Her worth ethic doesnt escape Sagula, who notices shes often among the stragglers leaving practice.A lot of times, as Taylor goes, this team goes, and weve come to rely on that, he said. She has this innate ability to step up for us in big games; its almost like you have to put a ranking in front of a team to get her to play like she did [Sunday]. Jeff Keppinger Jersey . Most important, perhaps, it went off without a hitch. Organizers poked a little fun at the now-infamous opening ceremony gaffe that saw only four out of five snowflakes open up into rings, leaving the Olympics logo one ring short. Harold Baines Jersey . Nigeria beat surprise package Ethiopia 2-0 in the second leg of their playoff for a comfortable 4-1 aggregate victory. Victor Moses converted a 20th-minute penalty after an Ethiopian handball, and Victor Obinna made certain of Nigerias place in Brazil with his powerful free kick in the 82nd at UJ Esuene Stadium. http://www.wholesalewhitesoxjerseys.com/...guillen-jersey/ . Nine days before the opening ceremony, organizing committee chief Dmitry Chernyshenko said Wednesday that Sochi is "fully ready" and will deliver safe, friendly and well-run games that defy the grim reports that have overshadowed preparations. PITTSBURGH --?Steelers?receiver?Antonio Brown says he doesnt want to actively break NFL rules, but he still doesnt understand why end zone celebrations are costing him five figures.Brown got hit with a $24,309 fine for twerking in the end zone during Sundays win over Kansas City, his second such unsportsmanlike offense. Brown is appealing the fine, saying I cant stop having fun.You cant really complain about the rules. You always want to stay positive, Brown said. But in the midst of everything, we need more clarification in regards to what I can and cannot do. I dont think excessive celebrating should cost more than hitting guys in the helmet -- $24,000 for a guy scoring touchdowns and having fun is more than a guy getting hit in the head, targeting with the helmet.Impermissible use of the helmet or a hit on a defenseless player merits a $24,309 fine. Its the same fine amount, but Browns point is ttaken -- one is for dangerous play, another is for getting down. Robin Ventura Jersey. The NFL has a rule banning sexually suggestive behavior on the field.Brown, through two fines for dancing and another $9,115 tab for wearing baby blue cleats in Week 1, has accumulated $45,578 in fines through four weeks.When pointed out that fines arent fun, a word he used repeatedly Friday, Brown said, I can write it off.Brown doesnt think hes getting the same benefit of the doubt as other players dancing in the end zone.I tried to minimize with two [pumps] -- still there was a fine.Denver Broncos receiver Emmanuel Sanders?also twerked in the end zone after a touchdown last weekend and was not fined or flagged.The plan is to continue to win, Brown said when asked about his future end zone plans.
